Gateways

Had to play through this entire game twice because i missed an achievement that finish the game without using any hints. Over all it's a really good Indie game that focus on Portal/Metroid type of action using a old labcoat professor.

In some cases, the many gadgets give more than one way to solve a puzzle. The graphics are like that of classic Mario, but the controls and...

This game has a number of good concepts in it and I want to like it, but when the time-travel portals are tossed in it just becomes too obtuse and finicky. When I reveal the solutions for the more complicated puzzles with that mechanic, my response is less "I should have thought of that" and more "I would never be able to pull that off". Precisely coordinating five or more instances of yourself in a limited time-span...

Gateways is the game Quantum Conondrum should have been: A fun, clever game that takes Portal-thinking to the next level thanks to the new portal types. A must buy for any Portal fan.
